ABSTRACT
MRI is a powerful noninvasive imaging tool. Multispectral MRI sequences have been validated to characterize atherosclerotic plaque components, size, thickness and vulnerable plaque in animals and humans. Developments of intravascular MRI (IVMRI) may play an important role in this regard. MRI contrast agents may identify inflammation and thrombus within atherosclerotic plaque. MRI has progressed to be used in serial studies of atherosclerotic plaque progression and regression in the face of therapeutic intervention.
